I wanted a ottoman that served my needs but also looked good. This one does it all: ottoman, coffee table, trays, storage inside, plus it has legs that raise it off the floor so it's not a solid brown block. This makes it more airy and the size is good, 42"x19.75, just what I was looking for! Nice selection of colors and 3 are linen and the one I chose which is faux leather. Hope this review helps someone choose the right one for them.
